The Media Development Authority of Singapore (MDA) and the Singapore Science Centre Board (SCB) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to generate greater awareness and opportunities of interactive and digital media (IDM) amongst Singaporeans and the industry.

A significant collaboration laid out in the MOU is the set-up of two permanent educational labs at Science Centre focused on encouraging students to create IDM content.
